Event Ideas

Outdoor Events

Our outdoor events are a great way to escape the office for a while, and can be outright fun if that’s the agenda, or have some real Team Development Built into the exercise. We manage the day from start to finish, including venues, transport, catering and accommodation if you choose one of the more adventurous, further afield events! Have a browse around, and then get in contact with us on info@whitestarevents.co.uk

Working in teams you must complete a variety of challenges such as laser shootout, the explosive minefield and blindfold driving in order to raise the funds for the release of your boss. This event combines the fun of a multi-activity day and the development side of a team building event.

Lights, Camera, Advertise

Sort the directors from the camera crew with this interesting little exercise. Armed with a camera teams must create a suitable advert for their company or brand. Together they must craft a script and come up with reasonable justifications for what they have written. Once they have the script they must film the advert however it must all be in one take, they cannot rewind! Once the bell goes all teams report back and videos are presented in front of all the staff. Perfect pre-awards ceremony team build.

Pablo’s Predicament

This creative team build has been successfully run as an event in its own right and as a conference energiser. We provide staff with paints, brushes and canvases and they must recreate a masterpiece on a giant scale. Once they have divided the picture up participants must work in small groups to re-paint the section they have been given on the much larger canvas. It’s then made even harder by the fact they aren’t allowed to see how the other teams are going about the challenge. For a lasting memory we can also have them recreate you company or product logo with resulting picture available for you to proudly display in the office!
